MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1939.
HIGH COURT HOLDS GOUNTTWARRANTS
Municipal Laws Setting up
Censorship Through Li
cense Declared Invalid.
Washington, Nov. 22. (Pi
The supreme court held today a
municipal ordinance requiring a
"censorship through license
which makes impossible the free
and unhampered distribution of
pamphlets strikes at the very
heart of the constitutional guar
antees "
This assertion was made by
Justice Roberts In an (opinion
holding unconstitutional three
municipal ordinances prohibit
ing the distribution of handbills
on the streets, and a fourth or
dinance prohibiting the canvass
ing of homes for the sale of
booklets, without first obtaining
a permit from the chief of po
lice. Justice McRcynolds dis
sented. The ordinance prohibiting
canvassing was applied by Irv
ington, N. J. Those prohibiting
the distribution of handbills and
circulars were passed by Mil
waukee, Los Angeles and Wor
cester, Mass.
No Censorship Right.
"Conceding," Roberts said,
"that fraudulent appeals may be
made in the name of charity
and religion, we hold a munici
pality cannot, for this reason,
require all who wish to dissem
inate ideas to present them first
to police authorities for their
consideration and approval, with
discretion in the police to say
tome Ideas may, while others
may not, be carried to the homes
of citizens; some persons may,
while others may not dissemin
ate lnformaiton from house to
house.
"Frauds may be denounced as
offenses and punished by law.
Trespasses may similarly be for
bidden. "If it is said that these means
are less efficient and conveni
ent than bestowal of power on
police authorities to decide what
information may be dissemin
ated from house to house, and
who may impart the informa
tion, the answer is that consid
erations of this sort do not em
power a municipality to abridge
freedom of speech and press."

linquencics caused by the de
pression. These things put the
county's fiscal affairs into the
red, Judge Day emphasized.
To liquidate a public debt of
more than $307,0000 in less than
four years in these times is
viewed by fiscal experts as a
real accomplishment. Judge Day
pointed to a number of factors
involved In the debt liquidation:
rigid but not foolish economy,
savings on t(ie budgets which
were accumulated, O-C revested
land payments and improve
ments in tax payments.
Interest Saved
The budget and other savings,
Judge Day pointed out, were
cumulative in effect. These sav
ings permitted other savings.
For example, since Mr. Day has
become county Judge, $90,000
has been utilized in purchasing
the uncallable road bonds, this
Investment saving the county
about $35,000 in interest over
the period the bonds had to run
to maturity. The November 20
balance sheet shows outstanding
permanent road bonds of $188,
000 but against this are credits
of $105,400.08, leaving the net
road bonded debt only $22.-
339.84.
Judge Day distributed credit
for the present fiscal showing
among all county officers. There
has been complete harmony on
fiscal policies in the county
court and all other county offi
cers have cooperated fully not
only in remaining within their
budgets but in working i for
economies without sacrificing
efficiency, Judge Day asserted.
"Without that full-hearted co
operation, nothing could be ac
complished," the judge declared.

Gault, hotel engineer, lighted a

and fumes ignited in his face,
singeing his eyebrows. Water
seeps into the sump and is then
pumped out. The following
week Gault and Bill Fredenburg,
a bellboy, were burned when
fumes again were ignited as an
electric pump in the sump was
moved. Chief Roy Elliott was of
the opinion that a spark from
the electric pump caused the
blaze and that is why a siphon
replaced the electric device.
Meantime a careful check was
made in nn effort to find the
source of the inflammable liquid
and for a time it was thought

Both are! The idler squanders time and
opportunity. The drudge never rests. He
forgets that overwork brings fatigue that
dims his wits. How wise are those who go
to neither extreme . . . those who can give
work and responsibility their full share
and then turn to wcll-dcscrved recreation.
For it is in these hours of relaxation that
your family enjoys your companionship.
By living a balanced life you build friend

Temperate in all things, you come to a
full realization that the world abounds

agement cooperated and a great
deal of digging was done to find
and repair the leak. But, it was
brought out last night, the seep
age of the inflammable fluid in
to the hotel basement has con
tinued. Safety Steps Taken
Mr. Neff said that the hotel
had gone to considerable ex
pense in making the basement
safe and to this end had installed
a blower to blow fumes out. It
was brought out also that the
management had erected a fire
wall, fire door and ventilator
in the basement to attain the ut
most safety.
City Superintendent Fred W.
Seheffel was of the opinion that
leak of gasoline or cleansing
solvent had occurred some
where early last August and
that the last of it would be
flushed from the ground when
the heavy fall rains came. Mean
time Chief Elliott said he had
sent a sample of the fluid to a
Shell Oil company chemist for
analysis.
"Trespass, Nuisance"
Mr. Neff referred to the seep
age as a " nuisance and a 'tres
pass."

Upon the recommendation of

accept the offer of Knox & D'Al-

completed by next May.
WPA Allotment
Attorney Farrell read a letter
from Congresman James W.
Mott who said he had been in
formed that the works project
administration had made an al
lotment of $2350 to replace
storm sewer pipe on Ninth
street. The project was now eli
gible for operation at the discre
tion of the state administrator.
Mr. Mott wrote, and he advised
the council to get in touch with
E. J. Griffith, state administra
tor. The council adopted an ordi
nance for the codifying and in
dexing of all city ordinances as
a WPA job through the League
of Oregon Cities, setting aside
S500 as the city's share of the
expense. ,
Councilmen H. -S. Deuel and

Change in Thanksgiving Day
Confuses Roosevelt Family
Washington, Nov. 22. (TP)
About half the country will ob
serve Thanksgiving Day tomor
row, but the confusion which
followed President Roosevelt's
decision to advance the custom
ary date has extended right into
his own family.
The chief executive and the
first lady will have their turkey
dinner tomorrow night at the
Warm Springs, Ga., foundation
for infantile paralysis patients.
Some of their children, however,
will observe both tomorrow's
holiday and the one proclaimed
by governors in some states for
November 30.
James Roosevelt, the Presi
dent's eldest son, will celebrate
in New York tomorrow and
then go to Massachusetts, which
has selected the traditional last
Thursday in November. Mi. and
Mrs. John Roosevelt also will
have their turkey at Nahant,
Mass., on the "second Thanksgiving."
The governor of Texas pro
claimed both Thursdays as a
holiday, so Mr. and Mrs. Elliott
Roosevelt will have two din
ners at their ranch near Fort
Worth. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Jr., will have tur
key tomorrow at their cottage
in Charlottesville, Va., but next
week they will have guests for
Thanksgiving recess of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
The last time a President
and he was a Republican
broke the Lincoln tradition of
having Thanksgiving on No
vember's last Thursday, no cal
endar manufacturers complain
ed, no football schedules were
upset, no Christmas business
boom was anticipated.
President Grant just said that,
whereas the country had been
prosperous and free of pestil
ence and peaceful, he would
"recommend that Thursday, the
8th day of November next, be
observed" as a day of Thanks
giving in 1869.
